Speaking to CVG in Barcelona, Comte confirmed that Heavenly Sword dev, Ninja Theory is currently busy polishing the game, and Namco is “very, very optimistic” about how it’s going to turn out.

“There is no doubt, this is priority number one,” he said. “The game is already finished as of a couple of weeks and months ago and they are polishing the game.

“Everything is on track. The studio has a good track record and I think this is the best game that they’ve ever made. They have the best music, the best art design, the best writers… honestly, we have everything to build a very, very strong franchise. I will be very sad if we miss it.”

He added: “I don’t know if it’ll work but I can’t imagine it won’t. What I know is that I can guarantee that this will be the priority number one title for the company worldwide and we will make all the effort necessary to make it a success and to build the franchise.”
